The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Seriously, where on earth did Caster summon so many magical beasts?"

While struggling to use his magic to kill the monster in front of him, Weber cried out in distress.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Kenneth laughed mockingly when he heard his good-for-nothing student's foolish question.

"?"

Weber looked at his mentor with confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Where did all the humans who lived on this land go?

Hachiman Hikigaya offered a 'kind' reminder.

"You mean!"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Waver instantly understood.

He stared at the monster before him in disbelief, and the magic he was about to unleash was canceled due to his inner turmoil.

In an instant, without Webber's magical support, a corner of the second line of defense was missing.

If it weren't for Hachiman Hikigaya's timely intervention, which barely patched up the loophole, the monster would have escaped to Irisviel and Sakura, who were protected at the innermost part of the enclosure.

"You must concentrate during combat! I've emphasized this countless times in class!"

Seeing that Webber's mistake almost led to a breach in the defense, Kenneth immediately gave him a stern reprimand.

"Feel sorry....."

Weber realized he had made a fatal mistake.

With a look of guilt and determination on his face, he threw the magic spell in his hand at the monster that had once been human in front of him.

"This is not a solution..."

Even though everyone was working hard to kill the enemy.

However, there are simply too many monsters.

After clearing away the monsters that rushed towards him once again, Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at the second line of defense, which was already on the verge of collapse, and the three Servants on the first line of defense who could only be described as struggling to hold on. He took a deep breath and began to use the Inari God power within his body again.

Almost at the same time, the Inari God from Hachiman Hikigaya's original world seemed to sense something and raised his head in his shrine.

"Not in this world?"

Because Hachiman Hikigaya possessed his own power, both Inari and Hachiman Hikigaya were originally able to clearly sense each other's location.

However, this time, the Inari deity's connection to Hachiman Hikigaya was extremely elusive...

"Looks like we've run into some trouble..."

Based on the extent to which Hachiman Hikigaya used his divine power, Inari deduced that Hachiman Hikigaya was in trouble.

After thinking for a moment, she gathered all the foxes that were gathered outside the shrine...

As the divine power within him was once again activated, the golden light emanating from Hachiman Hikigaya's body became even more dazzling.

At the same time, he was assimilated, and his whole body turned golden, making him look like someone sitting in the sky watching a show.

However, unlike Gilgamesh's imposing and intimidating gold, the golden light emanating from Hachiman Hikigaya gives people a gentle and reassuring feeling.

However, before Hachiman Hikigaya could unleash his full power, a golden door appeared in the void in front of him.

Immediately following, accompanied by a series of wailing screams, a small, snow-white fox was thrown out of the door.

"Little five?"

Although all the foxes at Inari Shrine look exactly the same.

But a strange feeling made Hachiman Hikigaya instantly recognize that the fox that rushed out of the door and was hugged by him was the one called Kogo.

"Hikigaya-sama..."

Upon smelling the familiar scent of Inari God power emanating from Hachiman Hikigaya, the fox named Kogo immediately looked up at him with teary eyes.

"How did you get here?"

After dealing with the several monsters that charged at him again, Hachiman Hikigaya curiously asked the little fox perched on his shoulder.

You have to understand, he's in another world right now!

"The Inari God said you might be in trouble, so he sent us to help..."

"you?"

Looking at Xiao Wu, and then at the still-existing door, Hachiman Hikigaya's tone was full of doubt.

"I was sent here by my eldest sister to scout ahead. The other foxes are all behind."

When asked why he had come first, Xiao Wu said angrily.

"What, do you have any objections?"

As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, the golden door rippled as if breaking the stillness of the water. Then, a witch who was about 1.6 meters tall and wore a fox mask walked out and questioned him in a cold tone.

"N-nothing..."

Xiao Wu, caught red-handed tattling, immediately wilted.

She jumped from Hachiman Hikigaya's shoulder to the shoulder of the newly emerged shrine maiden, her tone full of flattery.

"Hikigaya-sama."

Catching her youngest sister, the head priestess, without turning her head, smashed the monster that pounced on her with her bare hands, while respectfully greeting Hachiman Hikigaya.

As the fox leader left through the door, three masked witches and dozens of white foxes emerged from it.

After assessing the situation at the gate, the foxes quickly greeted Hachiman Hikigaya and joined the defense.

In just a few seconds, the previously shaky and collapsing defensive line became impregnable.

Chapter 235 Let's smash the ground!

The unexpected support relieved a lot of pressure on everyone.

Although I'm curious about Hachiman Hikigaya's true identity, dealing with Caster is the most important thing right now.

Several more minutes passed.

Iskandar, Diarmuid, and Artoria have all retreated from the outermost perimeter, and their positions have been taken over by three priestesses numbered 2 to 4.

The chief priestess, whose number is 1, is standing behind Hachiman Hikigaya, quietly watching everyone discuss what to do next.

"elder brother....."

Sakura walked up to Hachiman Hikigaya and gently tugged at his sleeve.

"What's wrong, Sakura?"

“That…fox…”

Although she knew that making such a request now was somewhat inappropriate, Sakura couldn't resist the urge to pet one of the white foxes darting around her, with their fluffy tails in the air.

"fox?"

While Hachiman Hikigaya was still trying to figure out what Sakura was trying to say, the chief priestess had already picked up the little dog that was perched on her shoulder and put it in Sakura's arms.

"Please feel free to knead and play with it; it doesn't matter if you kill it."

After all, as long as Inari Goddess exists, they can be resurrected indefinitely...

"!!!"

When Xiao Wu, the person involved, heard her older sister's words, she obediently nestled in Xiao Ying's arms, but the way she looked at the chief priestess became quite strange.

But the look in someone's eyes when they want to kill them is impossible to hide.

The chief priestess astutely discerned the little fox's inner thoughts.

She reached out and pinched the little fox's fluffy ears, and Xiao Wu immediately shrank into Xiao Ying's arms.

The fact that Xiao Wu was abandoned by his older sister was just a minor incident.

Just as Iskandar and the others were arguing about Caster, Karna, who had gone out alone to gather information, returned.

“Master….”

Although it was strange that there were so many more people and foxes in the team, Karna stopped paying attention to it after sensing that the newcomers all had the same aura as Hachiman Hikigaya.

After nodding to Hachiman Hikigaya in greeting, Karna immediately reported the information he had gathered.

"Caster's trail has been found."

"where is it?"

Upon hearing Karna's words, all eyes immediately turned to him.

"Right beneath our feet."

Karna pointed to the ground.

"After I went out, I found a huge circular crack about a kilometer away. After entering the underground through the crack, I found traces of the monster that Saber had previously destroyed. It seems that Saber only destroyed the part of the monster above ground, and the rest of the monster and Caster are hidden underground."

"Underground? That's going to be difficult..."

Iskandar scratched his head in frustration.

They're not like the shifty-looking Caster, who's completely inept at digging.

If Caster continues to hide underground and doesn't come out, they really won't have any way to deal with him.

"Perhaps we can get in through the crack that Lancer mentioned earlier."

Irisviel suggested.

"But wouldn't that put us in a completely passive position?"

No sooner had Irisviel finished speaking than Kenneth retorted.

No one knows how many monsters are underground, let alone where the giant monster and the caster are hiding.

Most importantly, they did not know the underground terrain.

If we rush down there rashly and the Caster takes advantage of the terrain to defeat us one by one, then we'll be in big trouble.
